notmylogin1977 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 (edited) Just recived a 1kg of Al-fakher Apple from someones recent trip to the Emirates..Check out the date it was manufactured - Anyone seen any fresher shisha? I'm used to seeing shisha many months old by the time it gets to us so was shocked to see how recently this one had been made.Now the next question. it's a 1kg tub - how can I store it so that it lasts for ages? was thinking of getting those vacuum sealer machines and bagging this up in smaller quantities.. any ideas?

lilbrownindian Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 thats a VERY fresh batch, so i would leave it in the plastic tub it comes in, you have exactly two years to use it, you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 isnt it two years sealed? after you open a tub of shisha you've got like 8 months to smoke it before it starts to turn.vacuum sealer sounds real good, though a bit expensive. anything that creates an airtight seal. mason jars, tupperware, etc. also if you go with the vacuum sealer, dont break it into smaller amounts, you'll distribute the shisha juice and it won't be as good.

leadpipecinch21 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 mason jars are a very good idea...get a couple of the 8 oz ones(kinda small, but will hold 250+g's of shisha no problem), and keep them in a cool, dry place that's out of direct sunlight. that stuff will last forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 again with the seperating the juices though.get a big glad/zipploc tupperware container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadpipecinch21 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 yeah, i didn't even think about the juices...good call on that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 theres a reason quality gets better if you buy 250g over 50g, and a kilo over 250g. its all from the same batch, more juice allocation in larger quantities though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notmylogin1977 Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 i'm just smokin my first bowl of the apple al-fakher, and i must say it tastes grrreat! my misses has some of those vacuum jars that you can take the air out of using a plunger that comes with it, so i've just used a large one of those to store the shisha for now. I hear what you're saying about distributing the juices so will try to leave it as it is.btw, i found out the cost of the 1 kilo - it's around 6 GBP, which is roughly $12 - man those guys in the UAE have got it good!

notmylogin1977 Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 Tell me about it! It would really sweeten the deal if I got a job over there. Some of my friends have already moved over there (in banking/finance jobs). They get paid tax free (similar to the UK/US) and it's a lot cheaper living out there. Not to mention the weather and cheap cars (no taxes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
